Looking at Kiyan Anthony's career, and what's next for the young hooper
Kiyan Anthony is currently playing for Long Island Lutheran High School along with his dad's Team Melo EYBL travel basketball team. As he explained in a recent interview with the New York Post, when he first started playing in high school, he didn't think he was that good.
In Kiyan's sophmore year, his game underwent a big transformation that made him believe he could compete with some of the best players in the country. As he and his Carmelo both explained, there was never any pressure on him to follow in his father's footsteps.
Once he decided that he wanted to pursue basketball, however, Carmelo Anthony was right there by his sons side, helping him take his game to the next level.
With the ten-time All-Star's recent retirement, he now has the opportunity to work out with Kiyan every day.
As the Class of 2025 standout looks to take his career to the next level before hitting college, Carmelo Anthony is more excited about being a father than anything.
Speaking to The Post, he explained why his recent retirement has him incredibly excited about being an 'everyday father':
“I feel like an everyday father — somebody who’s there, waking up with you, I get to plot and plan and strategize the way parents do with their kids, and not doing it from afar, in another city, in a hotel. I can really guide him now. I’m more excited about that than anything.”
Whether or not Kiyan Anthony follows in his father's footsteps and plays collegiate basketball for Syracuse, only time will tell.
